When and how should I pay holding costs?
Hey BP,
I'm looking at a rehab analysis worksheet that was created by @J Scott. As I scroll down I see the "Holding Costs" section.
HOLDING COSTS:
Mortgage Payments ($900.00)
Property Taxes ($600.00)
Insurance ($300.00)
Utilities ($600.00)
Lawn Care ($150.00)
Total: -$2,550.00
As I know these are estimates but when and what are the best ways to prepare for the holding costs fees?
I also see a few Selling Costs that i'm not sure when and how the payments would be made(Particularly Home warranty and Termite letter.
SELLING COSTS:
Selling Price $130,000.00
Commission To Agents ($7,800.00)
**Buyer Home Warranty ($500.00)
**Buyer Termite Letter ($50.00)
Buyer's Closing Costs ($7,800.00)
Seller's Closing Costs ($200.00)
Total:$113,650.00
I recognize that these are "selling costs" but do I initially request the loan amount to cover my potential fees? I would rather not pay these out of pocket if possible. I hope this isn't a crazy question.
Thanks in advance
